If Trump wins, America can look like Bulgaria, “is the headline of a Foreign Policy article published today. Its author, Ashira Morris, is a freelance journalist based in Bulgaria.
“The corrupt and hijacked state of Bulgaria could be the future of America if President Donald Trump is re-elected,” he wrote in a report on the country’s protests. “The current crisis heralds the long-term consequences of a government that is even more indebted to the interests of a few business leaders close to the ruling party at the expense of everyone else.”
“The US and Bulgarian administrations already have a lot in common. Both Trump and (Prime Minister Boyko) Borissov run their countries through systems of favoritism, giving important government orders to people with whom they are personally connected, without action. of responsibility. Both destroyed the division of forces. “
Unlike Trump, Borissov does not make racist comments or denigrate international institutions. He is a fan of the EU and in Brussels he is part of the center-right bloc, which includes Angela Merkel’s party. But that doesn’t make their machinations any less dangerous. It simply means that Western European leaders tend to ignore corruption in Bulgaria, although as protests continue, it is difficult for EU lawmakers to look away. “
